There was a time where “Bad Idea Jeans” was like the catch phrase for every decision I made.

That Cobain killed himself on my 16th birthday had more of an effect on my teenage and young adult years than I care to admit.
Today is the anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s 1994 death. In a story written for Rolling Stone two months after he died, Neil Strauss recreated the Nirvana frontman’s last days:
On March 25, roughly 10 friends — including band mates Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear, Nirvana manager John Silva, Billig, longtime friend Dylan Carlson, Love and Goldberg (Bottum had already gone home) — gathered at Cobain’s home on Seattle’s Lake Washington Boulevard to take a different approach with a new intervention counselor. (Novoselic is said to have staged his own separate confrontation with Cobain as well.) As part of the intervention, Love threatened to leave Cobain, and Smear and Novoselic said they would break up the band if Cobain didn’t check into rehab. After a tense five-hour session in the two-day process, Cobain retired to the basement with Smear, where they rehearsed some new material.
RIP, Kurt. We miss you.

Was wondering why people started following my Tumblr. Turns out, they think I’m Jay-Z.
